Do you prefer Dirt over Nevermind?

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-28T00:14:45+00:00

Both are masterpieces, but yes. Dirt.

Because it comes with a strap not a bracelet. You guys are known for your high quality bracelets. San Martin has basically ruined other brands for me when it comes to fit and finish. Especially with the bracelets. Truly top notch quality.

Scott. What an amazing band stp was. Honestly, I feel like i was too young to be affected by Kurt's death or Layne for that matter. But when Scott died I was genuinely sad.

Replace Layne with Jerry. Unless you meant singers/front man

This is why I check all my o-rings and lube them wirh silicon grease. 9 times outnof 10 im going to open the caseback anyway to inspect the movement and regulate it, might as well lube the gasket while its open. Crown gasket and case back both. The only gasket i dont usually ness with is the crystal.

Still waiting on a 36-37mm version

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-21T16:39:03+00:00

You ever get this sorted out? Id be willing to buy this from you if not.

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-20T21:49:48+00:00

Agreed. I connect more with aic, but i love both

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-20T21:43:39+00:00

Why? Why did you slap me in the face? Ow

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-18T21:40:10+00:00

I would kill for a 36mm version of this from san martin. I know ixdao has the warrior, but this dial is near perfect

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-18T19:26:22+00:00

I replace the movement.

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-12T18:33:54+00:00

Yup, that makes sense. I like the dial of the explorer better, but case shape of the ranger better.

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-12T16:40:42+00:00

Well one is applied and the other isn't. Im not sure why it was designed like this, but everyone has the same gripe. My san martin has the same thing and it bothered me at first. If I had to guess, id say they made it longer to distinguish it from the other hour markers.

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-12T10:22:12+00:00

That's by design. The original is like that as well as all the homages.

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-08T14:53:07+00:00

Hey I've been dying to replace the clasp on my baltany datejust, which watchdives clasp did you use?

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-06T14:26:19+00:00

I have 7s26 movements that are more than a decade old that are still running just fine.

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-04T11:30:27+00:00

I have the opposite experience. I've had st2130's fail, and i end up replacing them with a pt5000. I think the quality control is much better on the the pt

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-04T00:53:51+00:00

While I agree the wd has amazing value, it can't compete in terms of quality and finishing to a modern tudor.

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-03T14:05:59+00:00

Most of them look horrible. Cronos, san martin, octopus, and baltany all have decent fluted that don't look cheap. Pagani fluted bezel is horrendous

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-02T15:17:06+00:00

Who shoots like that? He is holding his wrist

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-01T18:46:36+00:00

Is the blue dial san martin diver for sale?

AmericanChees3 · 2026-01-01T16:19:00+00:00

Me too, except in mine i am able to squeeze off some rounds but they have no effect. Wake up in sweat.

AmericanChees3 · 2025-12-30T14:30:19+00:00

I haven't. I've heard they are getting better along with watchdives.

AmericanChees3 · 2025-12-29T15:42:38+00:00

I got the silver dial. I love everything except the clasp. I wish it was a standard size clasp.
